SPINNING




Spinning has been the thing that brought me into the world of fiber. I've been spinning for about 28 years. This is a skein of City Lights Polwarth from Rovings. I love Navajo plying it for the long color repeats. The Mikado gives a great variation when 2 plied. It is also the Polwarth from Rovings.

WEAVING




Organic Cotton became my passion quite a few years ago. This is a recent scarf that was woven with the houndstooth/huck pattern from 8 Harness Weaves by Stickler

Mimbres


The Valley turned shades of yellows with the cottonwoods, rust reds, sage greens and deep browns. Colors asking to be dyed and woven. We had an early flurry of snow and cold that took the color, but left the rose. This is home.
